and so far. not because the recent carefully in limbo he dies is so far i think there will. be more on that but it does because it would have been in the aftermath of our. torture had three key and no more american law to be a little bit more us about them. either who were either who were america's by nine hundred fourteen you could really say that for those arabs who were engaged in identity politics what they aspired to was a better deal for the arabs within the ottoman empire. this brand of politics is known as arab ism and arab ist were really thinking in terms of imitating the austria-hungary empire with a kind of arab turkish dual monarchy and the ottoman empire but were very concerned not to exit the audubon umbrella for fear that where the arabs edited make

a bid for independence they would be immediately at risk of european. the ottomans suffered a major defeat in nineteen i dance a little here priests serbia and montenegro in the first balkan born. to be in territory but the defeat did initially ease the relationship between the arabs of the ottoman empire and the young turks governments. even a focus of the bill. on well many years and i suppose. i would fit. in with went to faff i'm also going to how long ago it was that the what the really thought jacques

lecoq thought food for thought for i mean what are you. i the thought that we should be. the first world war started at the end of july nineteen fourteen. britain france and russia the central powers of germany austria-hungary and bulgaria. shortly after the ottomans opted just supports germany. the daughter of the fleet. and who are. still thought it was kind of a funny. little city when i came. home and there was suffering from a lie about enough on how to see

a lot of it with many thought of. that our little did the. national heart of. political. who are you starlet. as. money mean. to be a highly. mean mean. politically really thought that i will a good or i must be really really really brilliant or see you're going to doggy into luckily my mother took. me in the circular buffer to libya that i'm a poet so they were all poor. ruth doleman had the head of a says he cannot afford it and we had death well.

when the robber had there that you let me up and and method a low ball get it to read woman who wore it get auburn the most for almost half moved at the hall and we had death. in february nine hundred fifteen frustrated by the stagnating war in europe the british open to an eastern front against the ottomans on the dardanelles straits they imagined the ottoman army as weak and easier to defeat as the way of taking on germany and ending the war. russia however was more concerned about its use of ottoman waterways so the russians asked britain and france to find any prevent to guarantee their own share of the spoils after the war. the russians were keen to seize more as cultural capital as a sort of restoration of orthodox christianity after. five centuries of all of the

rule and so with the outbreak of the first world war on the eve of the complete invasion. the russians wanted to secure their allies commitment to granting istanbul and the straits to the russian empire and this becomes an exchange of documents known as the constantinople agreement concluded between march and april one thousand nine hundred eighteen. britain france and russia entered into the constantinople agreement which granted the russians certain ottoman territories and waterways. however this agreement peeved the way for another secret deal as london and paris started to plot exactly what they wanted from a region that's was gaining strategic significance in the coming age of oil.

you could really say that britain and to the war without any clear territorial ambitions in their territory they could not at this stage of the constantinople agreement identify one place that they wish to add to their empire but they reserve the right to do so as soon as they worked out what their priorities were and so in a sense the constantinople agreement really is the first of the wartime partition agreements that will begin to shape the way in which the arab provinces will be carved up primarily between britain and france since russia's interest lay mostly in turkish territories so very british fashion the british created a committee called the debunks and committee and its remit was to look into. the sort of the options for britain so that when the time for negotiations with the french came up the british would be well prepared to know what they wanted and this is actually something that the british did throughout the war and right to the end

of the war. so in april one thousand nine hundred fifteen the british set up a committee headed by the diplomats morris' the bunsen to define their interests in the ottoman territories it's made certain assumptions about what its ally france would expect from any potential deal. i mean a few who. are there to see if you could walk and then if it is you you really do there and leave front leave on the ground a sort of in the front seat going to be a call on it now i will suddenly be in the muscle i look at the month of may and the thought that if you have a month with you could be having a month what have you a month britain's interests are most likely to be in completing its a period of the persian gulf by securing the territories of the province the bus route baghdad lived as they were to persian oil fields and island in the shot that are up. nicely completing dominion that stretched right around the earth coastline

of the persian gulf which it would take since an eight hundred twenty s. . good morning gentlemen are doing all that so if you want some time to settle. and it's the youngest race the mayor. and most carefree man was mark sykes who was kitchener's miter assistant kitchen who was the secretary of state for war and he delegated the job of sitting on the committee sykes mark sykes had been born into a wealthy family in yorkshire in the north of england in eight hundred seventy nine . he studied at cambridge university and was elected as a conservative member of parliament. in one thousand enough. he like to give the impression of being an expert on the middle east based on his travels in the region but he was not quite the authority as it was sometimes assumed. he presented the

bunsen committee with his vision of a new near east region as riches and this will be our use i've come up himself with a different plan which is something completely different and much more old fashioned than it was to create a quarter of across the middle east so he was planning to divide the middle east between france and britain. and create a belt of english controlled country that stretched across from the mediterranean coast to the mountains on the iranian from and back to the century as a affront to britain could control and keep other people away from the red sea and the persian gulf. that was rejected by the defense i wish i were older wiser heads know that why work your whole life into line one nine hundred fifteen the debunks in committee recommended dividing the ottoman empire into several provinces over

which britain would seek influence rather than exercise direct control. but when sykes was sent to the middle east and india he began to revert to his original idea of a british cordon from the mediterranean to iraq. so mark from your knowledge of the other question. where would you say that a legion slot. between us and the french i mean. practically all arabs approach. not exactly anti french but frightened of financial exploitation and they are frightened of french colonial methods. but there are many christians in syria in the limit and in particular how do they feel that christians are as afraid at the bottom of their hearts as the muslims and only in syria at training center is prevalent everywhere because they know what the french do. that feeling pretty well

runs all through. there is the french nationalist party which is sentimental still harking back to the crusades. so science returned and as the current sort of started to come together he was called into downing street at the end of the year on the sixteenth of december nine hundred fifty and then. he must've gone with a map as well because he got into them the meeting with the cabinet the prime minister and his chief ministers sitting around the cabinet table in downing street i believe they fear an arab caliphate. is an independent stage the common language the arabs of tunis algeria and morocco in regional cause they control entirely the french nationalists believe that if the allies when they want syria and palestine i'm not a massive attainable likes appeared to be someone who was very knowledgeable and in

fact in that cabinet meeting that he went to in december one nine hundred fifty nine. or that the result of the cabinet meeting was that one of the cabinet ministers he was there believed he could speak arabic and turkish but in fact he could speak neither language so he he dotted his speech with arabic phrases that sort of thing to give himself the appearance of being an expert when in fact he was more of a gifted amateur what do you think we should do some are. i think to counteract the french war aims. we require diplomacy. do you think diplomacy will achieve with the fridge i don't want to make any suggestions except on very general lines. that i feel we ought to settle with france as soon as possible and get a definite understanding about syria what sort of arrangement would you like to have with the french what would you say to them i would like to see for ourselves.

south of haifa apart from the activity. you have even just to be very. good and the who. is. least a fuck up. i mean there were plenty of. men and with. guns and though. i will the man was old enough to mop up a. few months of chemical it's most important that we should have a bout of english controlled country between the sharif of mecca and the french in syria what would you do the french i should like to draw a lot. in asia. to the last came good cook and this must all be settled before we can take military action against the turks in syria.

we must find out what the french actually in system on having they do multiple syria they can both be merely a military purposes we must make terms with problems. which means we must make terms. of the matter. right to. britain has identified the territories of the ottoman empire its wanted in order to protect its interests in the suez canal and the area provinces. but this clan was dependent on britain and france winning the war which at the start of one thousand and fifteen was almost at a standstill on the western front in europe. the allies decided to open an eastern front against the ottomans. the ill fated gillet

odds let me explain why we must have and psychs. negotiate face to face to get what they both want from the middle east well if we cannot have palestinian my government was suddenly not allow britain to control my government would take the same view french polish term would be an outrage but then we need to find another solution before we come to feel. and so. now we can draw. once welcomed now fear. and dividing

on a victory might be able to provoke uprisings in. india and egyptian muslim populations that so far they've not been able to effect it's at that point the brit begins to really consider. how we might turn the tables on the ottomans and force them to fight in their own territory against an internal uprising so to address the challenge they turned to that sharif said that who had already made overtures to the british about concluding an alliance to secure their position now all of a sudden the british adopt the sharifs of mecca the partners that were essential. in the propaganda war with the ottomans to demonstrate that the muslim world was better off on the allied side than fighting the on. in one thousand or eight the ottomans had appointed should he trust in been highly as the wily the governor of his does area towards the red sea. he was from the hashemite in a city in mecca of which he was the emir. his son's face on and the representatives

and ottoman parliament what is with the ship with istanbul had deteriorated in recent years but that i suppose is going to show you that soon out of either me. and know. if you stumble so i move to many of sami decided to have or to have the thought of going on. with many a heavy fire. yeah i mean you don't have a home. there on the pier go to the community. show you. your i mean. i love you there or if you could. look at jazz it will know who or what he thought i should offer. home and i saw him out of the jazz. and then. out of me that there were as many.

lee. hokum as many yakkers. do all that of the year and it was many a problem because we should what occurred what they are all about does they have their water in there i'd hope that the spirit i'm in her doesn't refer to as many if it will be. sort of. her. disease. at the ottoman ruler of great. her syria jamal pasha executed a group of arabs in damascus and beirut in one nine hundred fifteen and nineteen sixteen they were accused of being separatists and of supporting the british and french this hard determination of the arab nationalists to separate from autumn and rule and to create an independent arab states hussein didn't have any modern ideas

of nationalism but he wanted more autonomy under the ottoman. empire but it's only gradually that he was drawn into what became an arab national movement a full scale revolt against the ottomans and this wasn't an easy decision for the sharif make to make because the ottomans were fellow muslims. and he was siding with an infidel. against fellow sunni muslims. there had been conversations between the british and the hashemites before the war but in july one thousand nine hundred fifteen sharif christine wrote to the british high commissioner in cairo sir henry mcmahon. he offered his support to against the ottomans in return for british support for an independent kingdom that would

include the provinces in the arab peninsula and be ruled by the hashemites. service seven i like. other things. and must i don't hear that but there was a lot of could be about the me how about you see a fella. there with a limp as it ought to be clean. to clean it off and the blood rushed to the upper limit as a seal mccoll with an associated those at the labia coming at them a muzzle of the key is that there were a lot of be absolutely a comment below most earth early the other three but a source of his ability to team a lot of cloth and most but he bit all the what the limits of the fish are that of the saudi you were a scary few. months of. the correspondence continued

and mcmahon wrote to sharif christine on the twenty fourth of october one thousand nine hundred fifteen he said that britain would not guarantee support for an independent arab kingdom with all the provinces demanded by the hashemites nevertheless the hashemites went ahead with their revolt against the ottomans in july one nine hundred sixteen. but many still consider mcmahon's letter controversial today because of the air. as the british wanted to exclude from any future arab kingdom. and that we're going to. shoot. it doesn't mean it will be a good occasion the. middle feeling. will it it wouldn't when it ended residency everybody. was barren service walking up to go to be demolished homes will have no house. and you clothes

aren't going to be wrapped up in the next year and it. doesn't mean it is clean then getting money in the sea became a fuel uneasy in districts very moment it clear and the fear doesn't or hasn't you can believe these this isn't even mccarran can it get a bit warm and documents. like that was careful not to promise anything the contravened preexisting treaty arrangements they wish to exclude territories to the west of homes have a device to set up zero and certain areas around the gulf of alexandretta and into the sea and britain was already an occupation of the province a bus ride much of the province of baghdad at this time and so britain was very keen to declare its interest and retaining some degree of control over those territories for the mutual benefit of the arabs of the british gathers boundaries

that britain would be willing to accept the hash likely to arab kingdom with british support hussein thought that the british promised to include palestine in his kingdom. and the british later denied that their promised team palestine they denied outright but. all the every does is that they have probably seen palestine. is the one had. with money certainly mcmahon let's show you the same i don't mind the level. of all the thing these miles and so we. filmed the brutally minimal world in living this way or that i'd either feel that mean. yeah you can lot of us are there when rottweiler and we are normal friends or.

significantly in the three months that the british promised parts of greater syria to sharif christine they told the french that any agreements relating to the borders of an arab kingdom would not be finalized without their consent. they knew how strong the french interest in syria was. on the first of october nine hundred fifteen the french ambassador to britain paul campbell wrote to his prime minister. to tell him that london had requested a french representative to draw the borders of an arab kingdom with syria. in this document the french ambassador suggested hans want george. would manage the general consulate in beirut for over a year and knew the syrian issue better than anyone else. aloft also just because diplomat sit down diplomat here diplomat kamel is

a. hundred years of insecurity but eventually some pass on the. good of so. long some of the stuff i mean the dishes. don't miss them. in the diplomatic. it says on the song the kid also plays a good and as yet it is something. called the diplomat less it's a different so deep as the bus don't bust you so close good. evening. we have something to talk about. this year because i was almost sure your nice to see you again place your feet in the dorm the french representative pico had his first meeting with the british in london on the twenty third of november one thousand nine hundred fifteen. tonight fool to see you again i mean you know everybody you know they started their negotiations about their respective shares of

the ottoman empire once the war was over. the british come along with an array of people from all the different ministries to take an interest the war ministry the foreign office the colonial office. they all sitting on one side of the table and peter was on the other side of the table have us who would define for first the boundaries you want government just as we must of course have the whole of syria and palestinian all of it of course down to the egyptian border but because you must remember is there are other claims in this area. to pat perhaps the best to him and you could form a kind of enclave but certainly nowhere today. despite the numerical advantage p.k. just sits there with his arms crossed and says i'm not interested in you or your

plan it doesn't we we call possibly accept something along the lines that you're talking about moving further east we must have the learn and not of this line and across here including most of the most. the top not of the video yet the whole area around twenty years ago the belayer took most of included the baghdad ambassador district or you should just think they should be separated now it's impossible to consider the situation of twenty years ago affecting the situation now so mature picco if you have palestine and syria and half iraq in mosul will be satisfied i think i can persuade my government then we have reached an impasse. the uncompromising positions of both sides adopt first meeting because the british army intelligence officer in cairo to write it is obviously hopeless to attempt to

arrive at any reasonable agreement with the french so long as pico is their representative. course he really. says mean of some to settle commuter policy lessons in a key basque something has so popular shows are really good top few know it all that drove on the goods he. said he had left. a place on. the nikkei it deserve a third of what they were both on the bend the big. news like our face because typically also on the build the bid to get it idea on the victoire so markedly twelve were larkham also potentially thirty two are in this year not thirteen look after that is he talking exist apart it's a battle mon the kids are more and more these ethics is going their bellies into

our nano he won't disappear off at least we drilled the paedos holding. so mark your government has been adopting extreme positions over a territory which you must recognize france has special placed but in the meetings i attended no one seemed to give a centimeter and yet concessions i feel the. decisions have to be made so that we both know where we stand when turkey is conquered as inevitably it will be. because i feel sure that within these walls we can find a way through the issues and my government has given me the power to make the necessary decisions i too have been given the freedom by my government to make the necessary decisions and you must realize that we have very definite needs in the territory which some of my countrymen consider to be french by rights ever since the crusades do you remember who won the crusades yes but today the arabs have said i didn't

although these talks were secret the russians had already made their demands what we must do now that we have agreed the russians can have the northern areas of turkey including the straits is to discuss the southern and eastern areas so that the interests of both great nations can be established for the decades that will follow the end of the war or the start then with the provinces of syria that center on damascus and the living. room and their own. the. effect of iran nearly syria could draw. a desert should have. brought the cold month to food for instance then all of the authority you couldn't before sukkot no foster home where you know roofs are given for war and female health and how is it was an adult with money you had. a ball. of no food

rules. so you see it's indispensable for the arabs have been in syria to have some direct access to the mediterranean somewhere along the syrian lebanon and the way to total french control that would be impossible but that would mean french positions would be split into between an often a south of syria. simply cannot be allowed to happen the political and military a bit strange would be impossible in such a divided territory. i'm not convinced but. it is nevertheless try to meet that object. and my dividing line is here. from. funny you should be. in either party a big deal. or no one had. no from you have the

hots could have you do something. with a funny you and it's also a miniature should be sent out. if it was you. can figure if i walk. funny. enough. well a well mandala suspect although enough of their starting back to you both on it will not be possible to persuade my colleagues to accept a line is found not says that that would exclude coats of all regions like the whole run from a sphere i see but for france to control territory that far south from make it very difficult for our plans for a railway line from the coast to baghdad i must insist on this point smoke. and co cook. we could not possibly let you have cook from my own travels in the air i know that this province contains the only elements of the population which will make it possible to colonize ation of iraq my idea sykes this is hardly in

a spirit of conciliation let me explain why we must have the territory we requested in nov and mr putting. on play the mock signs off people don't believe i suppose this philip president but he seemed almost something he esteemed because it though do continue it when he put it down the cliff because the continually double up and i must feel shivers and then it don't come so muslim that at that instant socio playa he still he can go to his own let alone do much of a descriptive pull his own little problems to the point that you have thrown the ball you cannot destroy this well if we cannot have palestina my government was suddenly not allowed britain to control my government would take the same view french press time would be an outrage but then we need to find another solution before we come to blows.

and so. now we can draw him out. so when sykes left the cabinet meeting. on sixteenth of december nine hundred fifteen to go and meet pico he had a problem because he had to reconcile two conflicting sets of demands the set of demands that pico was making for syria and lebanon and the other set of demands that sheriff of st had already made and which the british had already effectively accepted for both covering the same territory so he in pico came up with a map that made a distinction between two types of land in the middle east land that britain

and france would absolutely control which was colored blue for france and red for britain and a hinterland the in a region which was called area a an area b. where the arabs would have. some war ptolemy but in which each of the big powers the great powers would have the right to advise or influence with the further complication that the territory of what was to become palestine was designated for an international zone where basically russia britain and france are able to agree who could lay greater claim to the holy lands just to further that decision down the road by painting it all brown. in january one thousand nine hundred sixteen the french and british agree to ignore the borders of any future arab kingdom. their new borders were enshrined in the

deal we now know as the psychs pekoe agreements. sikes to his line from acre to could cook so the south of anatolia eastern turkey the syrian coast and the roots were put under direct french control. basra and baghdad were put under direct british control. and the muskets were put under french protection and were called area a. the rest of mr potato and the south of greater syria were put under british protection and called area b. . what's palestine including jerusalem was designated as an international zone in brown. all those like speaker was never implemented it formed the basis of future negotiations and the post autumn in middle east

resembled the areas of influence it created so the map has different colors different letters but ultimately what really matters is the line in the sand that runs from the coast to the persian from their local state in this yes. the national . faith six people. while they're not quite i mean. don't really need. men. called for most of the. mining is. done. shall be from the who let it. be funny in a funny way the british felt that the system that the arabs so viewed as a betrayal. was in keeping with the terms of what they'd agreed with the hashemites because they were still considering the territories if there is an informal

british infection floyds as kingdoms to be ruled by arabs and there was even one mention of the sharif of mecca and the sites because grima to round things out but ultimately for the arabs sites fico was double dealing and it seemed to be giving territory that had just been conceded to the hashemites by the same man correspondence to the french. here in st petersburg in the russian foreign ministry the secret psychs pekoe agreements between britain and france was approved by russia. that deal was finalized in correspondence dated the sixteenth of may nineteenth sixteen influencing diffused church of millions of people in the middle east's.

first day in school is hopeful new friends would hope is that a company. stories generate thousands of headlines with different angles from different perspectives cara families fact help me and i only one of the major issues before fall is the institution president cannot stop talking about the news media separate from the fact the misinformation from the journalism price of b.b.c.'s reporting free to leave the listening groups on. this is.

hello i'm maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes or evidence that murder was premeditated as u.s. democrats say they will investigate u.s. president's response to the killing of the saudi. suicide attackers target china's consulate in karachi pakistan three gunmen and two policemen are among those killed we look at the political newcomer who will represent the main opposition party as the democratic republic of congo prepares the december elections. and obviously but in doha with all the sport it's really madrid denied their captain sergio ramos failed a drug states before the twenty seventeen champions league final moments story later in the program.

we begin with developments in the murder case of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi turkish investigators analyzing the phone calls and movements of the suspects so the operation to kill him was. and twelve days in advance in the recordings a third voice is heard which security sources say might be that of the crown prince mohammed bin cell none well this is democrats only ice house intelligence panel say they will be investigating president trump's response to the journalist killing or more on that from roslyn jordan in washington in just a moment first though to simcoe sulu who's in ankara what more have we learned from the recordings. well miriam the recording detail is very fresh actually we'll learn dissolves in syria from the turkish officials that when man heard of the three hundred to keep the names in mind very close security guard of the crown prince mohammed bin said

a man was speaking to sell their cats danny after jim our host who is killing operation was completed. he was speaking to sow the cats and the thirty third war is a was being heard as a her as a third person near in the cats and according to what we have learned from the sources that when muttley was telling the details of their operation to so there catherine while he was reporting himself on catherine who was also reporting what he has sad to the third person next to him when we talk to the turkish turkish security people they say that they strongly have the opinion they strongly believe that this person might be the crown prince mohammed bin someone but of course everything depends on the technical analysis and until now they weren't able to conclude that it was mohamed maher or someone else but the i was told that
